Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 8 ounces Mushrooms
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and any liquid has evaporated.
Brush the remaining olive oil over the rolled-out pizza dough.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Add the sautéed mushrooms evenly on top of the cheese layer.
Top with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.
